Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman to guest on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Legendary movie host Joe Bob Briggs has been landing some cool guests for the new season of his Shudder series The Last Drive-In. On the first episode of the season, Chris Jericho stopped by to help Joe Bob host Joel M. Reed's 1976 film BLOODSUCKING FREAKS. On the second episode, Tom Savini was there for a showing of William Lustig's MANIAC. Episode three went by without a major guest, but another guest will be showing up in the fourth episode, which airs on Shudder tonight, May 15th, at 9pm Eastern.

Tonight's guest is the great Lloyd Kaufman, co-founder of Troma Entertainment. Usually the movies Joe Bob shows are kept secret until he presents them on The Last Drive-In, but Kaufman went ahead and spilled the beans on this one: he'll be talking to Joe Bob for a screening of the 1988 film TROMA'S WAR, which he describes as the "most personal film" he and Troma co-founder Michael Herz have made.

On a lonely Caribbean island, air crash survivors emerge from a tangle of severed limbs and dumb jokes to confront some real trouble: a creepy cadre of terrorists who control the island. These gorilla guerrillas are so ticked off when company drops in unannounced they unleash a splatter-tat-tat of machine gun fire. And give sleazoid horror action comedy cultists all the gruesome they grovel for.

Watching TROMA'S WAR as presented by Joe Bob Briggs and Lloyd Kaufman sounds like it's going to be a whole lot of fun. The other film in tonight's double feature remains a secret.
